Florence Form & Balance Check
Ac Florence are not in particularly good shape. Especially the late 1-0 defeat against the Italian record champions Juventus Turin might have gnawed at the self-confidence of the Tuscans. Vincenzo Italiano’s team is simply not playing consistently enough this season and has often lost against quality teams. That’s why we think they’ll also find it very difficult against the in-form Milanese side.
Problems on the offensive
Fiorentina conceded only three more goals than their upcoming opponents AC Milan, but have been weak in attack this season. Despite having one of the most talented strikers in all of Serie A in Vlahovic, the Tuscans scored just 16 goals. AC Milan scored comparatively ten times more than Fiorentina. As Milan have the second best defence in the league, it won’t be easy for Vlahovic and Co. to score.
Florence facts & analysis
– They are currently in seventh place in the table
– Florence lost the last match against the Old Lady with 1:0
– Fiorentina have weakened this season against the quality teams in the league
Milan Form & Balance Check
Milan are currently in outstanding form, having won seven of their last eight league games. Coach Pioli’s machinery is in top form this season, and the fashionable city has yet to accept a single defeat in Serie A. Milan were a little worse in the derby, but showed in the final minutes that they were far from satisfied with the draw against Inter. Milan are still hungry for success and for us they are the clear favourites in the upcoming match against Fiorentina.
The second best offensive
Acc Milan have scored an incredible 26 goals in just twelve league games this Serie A season. Only third-placed and arch-enemy Inter Milan have scored three more goals than the Rossoneri. Equally astonishing is the fact that no player has scored more than four goals for Milan, while practically the entire team can score for the fashionable city. Milan’s top two goal scorers are Giroud and Leao. Both players have already scored four goals in Serie A.
Milan facts & analysis
– Milan are currently second in the table.
– AC Milan have yet to lose a game this Serie A season.
– The fashionable side drew their last match against Inter Milan 1-1
Predicted line-up – last update on 18 November 2021
We expect Fiorentina to play in a classic 4-3-3 system, which has always been preferred by coach Vincenzo Italiano. AC Florence will have to do without their two nominal regulars in central defence due to a yellow and red suspension respectively. Therefore, we suspect that Igor Julio and Nastasic will start in the centre of defence.
We believe that Stefano Pioli will choose almost the same line-up as in the derby against Inter Milan. However, Saelemaekers could move into the starting line-up in place of Krunic and play on the right wing as usual. Diaz will in all likelihood play in his beloved ten-man position again. In addition, Calabria was injured during the international break and could be replaced by Kalulu.
